Hearing Zhang Liao's military order, several centurions organized the army to kill the enemy in front of them, and then retreated rapidly, Zhang Liao was responsible for breaking the rear, no matter who the enemy army was, no matter how many, Zhang Liao was just a move, the halberd danced, and the middle ones were in the end, or killed or wounded.

Zhang Liao and his men did not rush deep, not far from the north gate, recruited back the dozens of people who set the fire, quickly killed the camp again, fled directly, disappeared into the night, without a trace, the Xiliang army didn't even catch a single hair, and saw that there was no one left.

"Can you see how many enemy troops are coming?" Ma Chao arrived soon, but it was still late, and he didn't even see a shadow.

"I didn't see it clearly, it looks like there are a lot of people."

"No, I just don't think there are many enemies, maybe only two or three thousand, otherwise how could I withdraw so quickly."

Ma Chao listened to the reports of others, and was angry in his heart: "A bunch of waste, such an enemy army can't stop it." ”

"The general can't blame us for this, the enemy army is very cunning, it has not penetrated at all, it only takes advantage of the periphery, and when they see our army dispatching, they immediately run away, and they don't give us a chance to surround at all."

Another person said: "They don't dare to go deeper, the Jizhou army is despicable and cunning, and they have this ability, and they will run away after a sneak attack, which is really useless." ”

"I think they are still afraid of the general's tiger might, the general challenges during the day, and the Jizhou army does not dare to come out to fight, at this time they don't run, are they waiting for the general to kill them?"

"That's, that's ......"

Ma Chao was also very useful when he listened to the undisciplined praise of these players, and quickly turned his anger into joy and laughed a few times. He said, "Run, run, and send someone to the front to ask." See if the camp of Zhang Liao has been repaired. Tomorrow we will be able to conquer the enemy camp and see what else Zhang Liao can do to stop our army. ”

A night raid passed so quickly. Not a single person in Zhang Liao's department was injured, all the troops returned, and the damage caused to the super army of Tsushima was also very limited, only killing less than 10,000 people, and the fire was quickly extinguished, only tossing all the enemy troops.

"Wen Yuan is back, how is it, can it be successful, is there any damage?"

Xu Shu's army had completely withdrawn to the checkpoint in the middle of the mountain road. In addition to arranging a hundred people to observe the situation, no one existed, and the village was brightly lit, and the torches and fires everywhere were not extinguished, and the purpose was to confuse the enemy, the Jizhou army had already gone to rest, and only Xu Shu had been waiting for Zhang Liao to come back with some logistics personnel.

Zhang Liao pointed to the thousand soldiers and said, "You go and eat something, and go to rest when you are done." The brothers are tired tonight, have a good rest, there will be a big battle tomorrow. Then he said to Xu Shu: "Let's go, let's go to the big tent and say." ”

"The camp of the Xiliang Army is heavily guarded. I killed only a few thousand people on the perimeter, set fire to dozens of tents, and saw the enemy army surround me. So I withdrew my army, and there were no wounded. ”

Xu Shu said: "It's good that there are no injuries. Isn't that the same as we thought it would be, and that's fine. It's better to be prepared, let's **** a few more times, and the enemy army will definitely be relaxed. ”

Zhang Liao said leisurely: "Alas, it would be nice if there were a few sentinels trained by the lords, and we would definitely be able to figure out the reality of the Xiliang Army, as well as the stockpiling of grain, grass and ordnance, and it would not be so much that we would need to test it several times." ”

"yes, I don't know what's going on over there......

On the second day, the domineering Xiliang army killed the mountain pass, and the 100,000 troops at night went back to the camp to rest, Ma Chao had a high-spirited expression, the cottage in front of him could be taken today, and the death of the general Ma Yu did not make him miss it at all, just a general, and he died.

But when he came to the cottage, he found that there was no defender on the wall, and it was empty, Ma Chao felt strange and said: "You go in and see if the enemy army is cheating, and come back to report to me when you are done." ”

There was no hindrance, and the investigation was called a swift, and it took a quarter of an hour to return: "Report to the general, no one has been found in the enemy camp. ”

Ma Chao didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Can you find out clearly?" What about the mountains on both sides? ”

"The investigation is clear, and there is no one on the mountains on either side."

"Where did the Jizhou army go? Evaporated overnight? ”

"Report to the general, look at the traces, the Jizhou army should have escaped through the mountain road."

Ma Chao looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Okay, the enemy army knows that our soldiers have fled, and your troops continue to investigate the situation, and they must be meticulous, especially on the mountains on both sides, and there must be no omissions." ”

"Command."

"Tell the front army to move on." Ma Chao shouted.

The whole mountain road is crooked, there are twenty miles away before and after, the checkpoint camp built by Zhang Liao is just stuck in the middle, it is also a curve, the checkpoint at the exit of this later is built very firmly, of course, it is not comparable to the city, it is much stronger than the wood and stone mixture at the entrance, which is built by a mixture of stone and soil, and the ramming is also very strong, even if Ma Chao does not want to attack, it can hold on for several days.

The mountain road is really wide, side by side can walk hundreds of people up and down, the two sides of the mountain road are not very steep, to put it bluntly, this is an ordinary rolling mountain, this mountain road is one of the only ways to enter the party in Hanoi, there are no cliffs on both sides, and people can climb up with bare hands in steep places, including the checkpoint that Zhang Liao is guarding now.

There are patches of green leaves on the mountain, the forest has just turned green, Zhang Liao also arranged a soldier on the mountain on both sides, the number is not much, there are 3,000 people each, in addition to assisting in the attack, you can also prevent the Xiliang army from the mountain to attack his rear.

There were hundreds of outposts in Ma Chao's former army, and Zhang Liao's location had naturally been discovered by them, and then reported to Ma Chao.

"General, this level is not easy to attack, our troops cannot be deployed, and the enemy troops on the mountains on both sides are also very harmful to us, please be cautious."

One of the eight strong generals, Hou Xuanyan, he is also a person who has been a warlord, and he more or less understands the basic military knowledge, not to mention that he and Cheng Yin are not Xiliang warlords, they are originally from the Central Plains, and when the Central Plains was in turmoil, they have also been entrenched in Hedong and Hanoi, occupying one or two cities, learning the Central Plains mountain tactics, and will not blindly start attacking like Ma Chao.

"What General Hou said is extremely true, so in what you see, how should our army forge ahead?"

Hou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "General, if we want to capture this level, there is only one way or feasible. ”

"Oh, tell me."

Hou Xuan said: "It is spring, the weather is dry, it is very prone to fire, and this place is far away from the river, so it is difficult to get water, so we can try to use fire to see if we can defeat the enemy." ”

"Oh." Ma Chao was happy in his heart, he was not uneasy to listen to opinions, he was a person who was stubborn and self-serving, the strategy that Hou Xuan said was indeed very useful, and he hurriedly lined up Hou Xuan's shoulders and said: "General Hou's plan is very secondary, and it is feasible." ”

Ma Chao said again: "Pass the order to go down and withdraw the troops back to the camp." ”……

There is a mistake in the previous article, among the eight generals under Ma Chao's account, Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin are Hedong warlords, Liang Xing and Zhang Heng are Xiliang small warlords, and the information query is wrong, please forgive me.
